I'm going to say the negitve should be inserted first . The negative should be touching the tiny spring on the light bulb but the light I just bought to replace the one in the flashlight is the opposite

Sorry for your problem with the battery install. If the new battery is not defective, sounds like the main unit is defective. I obtained the batteries as a gift for my daughter. She installed the new batteries and selected the option of new batteries installed. Then left the unit in the home dock, charging overnight. Went from running less that 5 min to completing the whole area for approx 50 min never having to go home for a recharge. Runs like new again

First use NEW batteries. I thought my so-called NEW batteries were fresh and up to charge. They were not! Get a battery tester. Once I had batteries that had a full charge It started without having to do it manually. I do not manually do it any different than the other six answers in any major aspect. I had to start it manually until I realized that I had new batteries that did not have a full charge. Now it works fine without having to resort to manual operation.

I do not know what the problem might be in your laptop. But if the battery is fully charged & plugged in, it will not charge (since it does not need to). If the battery is not charged and does not charge when plugged in, I would contact the seller.

You have to let it charge for a while and maybe reset it. It comes with instuctions for installing a new battery. If you did that then you probably have another problem.

I found the instructions on battery insertion to be confusing. Try flipping it over. Sounds silly but it worked for me.

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.

Make sure the battery is in the right way. Line up the little old things - there are two on one side and only one on the other side. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions. Have never had this problem. Good luck!

I would charge the battery first. I believe those are the instructions anyway. In fact, I believe there are specific charging procedures initially to get the best life out of the battery. If you continue to experience issues, I would contact the vendor/manufacturer.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

Your battery maybe shot.... Take it somewhere to have it tested... If it is shot order new one from currie

Pull the bottom casing off and drop in the battery (it is marked to show the + and -). That's all there is to it.

Hello there - Are both batteries new? Even one battery that is not fresh can prevent this item from functioning properly. Did you try to hold the "on" button to on for 10 seconds, as sometimes first time use will take longer to turn on? Please contact the seller directly for further assistance. Kind regards -Vert Delivery

The main 2 mistakes I made were: 1, forgetting I had to pull on the ribbon to lift out the battery; 2, after plugging in the new battery ( you have to be careful to match up the + and -. This is a major design flaw. White on white symbols while your on a step stool at a very uncomfortable angle? Really; sadists). Then just remember to hold down that plastic lever, press the battery in and you're done. Well except for the three pronged connection. For this take a deep breath and let it out slowly as you finagle the connection. Done. And god please bless mediocre designers.

The paper work you got with your battery should tell you where to send it in to . You can also check with the person you bought it from.

Maybe you put the battery in backwards? There is some electronics in there that requires correct polarity.
